Funds are provided to reconstruct the history of hurricane landfalls in southwest Florida over the past five thousand years. The proxy record will be developed from hurricane overwash deposits preserved in backbarrier lagoons and marshes, and correlated with a compilation of climatological, meteorological, and oceanographic data for the region. The chronology of the overwash deposits will be constrained by radiometric dating, and SLOSH model results will facilitate the correlation of overwash deposits with the tropical cyclones that created them. A site-specific hurricane database will be developed for southwest Florida to better understand the characteristics of storms that produce overwash deposits. Results of this research may have implications for coastal planning and management in the region. The project will support an early-career female investigator, and will involve high school, undergraduate, and graduate students.

提供的资金用于重建过去5000年来佛罗里达州西南部飓风登陆的历史。代理记录将从保存在后屏障泻湖和沼泽中的飓风冲刷沉积中开发，并与该地区的气候学、气象学和海洋学数据汇编相关联。溢流沉积的年代学将受到辐射测年的限制，而晃动模型的结果将有助于将溢流沉积与产生它们的热带气旋相关联。将为佛罗里达州西南部开发一个特定地点的飓风数据库，以更好地了解产生溢流沉积物的风暴的特征。这项研究的结果可能会对该地区的海岸规划和管理产生影响。该项目将支持一名职业生涯早期的女性调查员，并将涉及高中、本科生和研究生。
